... _ -——— - — Automation Feared By Nation’s Workers

By HARRY FERGUSON United Press International v WASHINGTON <UPD V r A person who urges a slowdown or halt to automation is engaging in an exercise in futility. The iron laws of competition offer the American manufacturer this choice —automate or go out of business. • The Packard automobile - disappeared from the highways of the nation because the company could not meet the competition from rivals who had automated. A flood of transistor radios from Japan forced six American companies to go in for automation. They were able to cut prices .from $39.95 to $14.95, and the imports, from Japan

A man who tried'to do it would be killed instantly. The determining factor in whether automation will throw as many as 25 million persons out of work in the next 10 years seems to be the speed at which 1 it is 'introduced. It is a common saying that there has been more technological advance in the last 50 years then there was in the previous 1.000 Ninety per cent of the drugs and pharmaceuticals in use today were developed in the last 10 years. Shy From Slowdown The demand for a deliberate, planned slowdown is almost nonexistent. This reporter could find oiWy one man who advocated it. He is Vaux Owen, president of the National Federation of Federal Employes who testified before the Senate subcommittee on employment and manpower. What he advocated Was a “moratorium on all procurement or rental by the federal government of any additional automation machines except for the purposes bl clear defense needs.’’ jThis suggestion shocked the committed. They compared the •idea with the Luddite movement in England—a group of workers who organized to destroy the machines that were foie in g some of therri out of their jobs. No bill providing for federal restraint on the progress of automation has even the smallest chance of parsing Congress. Even if the next 10 years bring no big breakthrough in the development of machines, the problem of unemployment is worrisome some time now the ratewf uneployment in the United States has clung stubbornly to around 5 per ceht of the work fovce. The prospects seem to be that it Soon will get worse because there is an uneven race going on between the number of new jobs and the number of people born.
